Remakes - A good idea ?
 

Are they a good thing or not ?

I think my favorite would be Invasion of the body snatchers (Abel Ferrara) , whats yours ?

What would you like to see re-made ?

It depends what movie it is. If the movie has already done it's job, leave the movie alone. If the movie hasn't or the movie is really bad. Sure remake the movie.

I liked Invasions of the Body Snatchers. I wouldn't liked it to get remade.

I guess remakes can be good or bad thing.

Which one, the original or the remake?
;) ;)

The original

Is killing yourself a good idea?






I think not.

The Abel Ferrara version so i guess its the remake/remake?:confused:

In general I say no, But the occasional one is a good idea.

my faveroit is probably out of The Fly and Dawn of the dead, but it's hard to say.

I will second The Fly as a great remake.

Also, House of Wax (Vincent Price) was a good remake.


The problem with remakes is that it is usually films that were good at the time that are remade. Which are probably the movies that least need to be remade.

Sometimes it works well - when movies that were good but made on a modest budget are respectfully recreated with a larger budget but adhering to the same values an ideals of the original.

Unfortunately, this does not always happen. And so we have masterpieces such as the remake of The Wicker Man and many, many others.

In general, I say no (which is what I voted). However in some cases remakes are essential in order to keep an awesome story alive through the ages.

Not all remakes are bad - or a poor homage to the first...sometimes they can be as good, or even better.

However, usually a remake is done just to cash in on the fact that theres a lot of ignorant movie-go-ers out there. This is when the movies are baaad and created without any love and never capture the atmosphere of the first.
